Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for October 15, 2012

Good as any other, Danae.

“Next, coughing up Uranus.”

Ahhh, yes…The Big Gaackk Theory……..I’m a convert. All hail Danae and kittens everywhere!……Just out of curiosity, what comes out the other end?…

Make as much sense as anything else I’ve heard. Hope she has a ‘chocolate’ commandment.11. Thou shalt enjoy chocolate without guilt (or calories)

Dang, alexikakos, guess I should have seen that coming…or going……nice job….

If something tells you what to believe; it should be questioned.

Varnes – asteroids…

better creation story than the bible.

Amen brother.

Ancient Egyptians worshiped cats as gods. Now we know why!

Why Not, Danae? I find your scripture highly questionable.

And now, in the 21st century, a person cannot become leader of this country unless he or she professes belief in an alternate, and equally preposterous story.

It also works for liberals and democrats.

Throughout history, religion has been one HAIRBALL scheme aften another to control people one way or the other. Danae’s is just a bit more upfront! Love it Wiley.

Around here it’s called “sinapu” or something like that. Follow along or not, you will get hurt.

Amen to that!

Cats ARE the center of the universe. Never question that!

Amen, Danae.

Amazing… no one’s said what I first thought when I read it… Guest appearance from Bill the Cat… woo hooo! :)

As a curiousity, I wonder how Danae and her sister would respond to learning about Malala, the girl shot in the name of “God” for the crime of wanting an education and saying so. Mr. Miller often uses political themes in his work, but I do apologize if the question is deemed inappropriate for a non-editorial cartoon.Respectfully,C.

I subscribe to the Big KaaK Theory.

Darn! That’s the problem about living on the west coast … by the time I get to the comics all you witty folks across the country have already gotten the best lines.

This answers a lot more questions than it raises.

The Vikings still have the hands-down silliest creation myth: a cosmic cow licks primordial ice to free the first god..No, I’m not kidding.

I try to stay awake, listening to good jazz streamed on my computer until 1:10AM, read my favorite strips and comment, then go to bed about 2AM, whenever possible.

I’m back up a little after 5AM to walk the dog. We both then go back to sleep until 8:30AM when I again get back to check out everyone’s witty comments.

I don’t get it; at what point does the noodly appendage enter the picture?

What? Nobody came up with that old line about the dyslexic dude that believed in Dog?

Actually, I think it answers a lot of questions, in its own way!

So you know nothing about the Baptists in general, then?

MY cats agree with her. And her science is as good as anything the “Real” scientists can come up with sometimes. life from inorganic life with no outside agent. We came directly from Cro mag until the DNA sent that one out the window. Yeah, she’ll get a degree in biophysics this way.

And this is why the Egyptians worshiped cats as gods.

This actually explains a lot. Where is this church and how can I join?

aww, cḿon, krain: you really think there’s cultists involved in theme parks that have cretaceous, jurassic, triassic, and dummassic creatures (i adore the velociraptor peacefully GRAZING next to the caveman family)? XD

of course, like i’ve sed before, you want hallowe’en creepy, go in a catholic church. itś like one big creepy doll house. ick. brainwashed indeed.

This was one of Joseph Campbell’s favorite creation myths.

The Egyptian cat god Bastet spit up a hair ball, and the world came into being 6000 years ago

My cat looked at the ’toon and laughed so hard, she coughed up an asteroid!!

BTW; being on the west coast, we get the changed ’toons at 10pm so can play even before the news comes on!

Hey Debbie, “Just follow along and no one gets hurt”. Reminds me of all the ministers in my experience who didn’t have an answer for ticklish questions. Wonder what they were taught in theology college – probably “Follow along … etc”

Egyptians beat her to it..http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bastet

That would explain the saltiness of the oceans.

Sounds about as legitimate as any other creation myth. From now on, when cleaning up after one of little kitteh’s barfs I shall now paraphrase the Bhagavad Gita, “I am become death, destroyer of worlds and cleaner of hardwood floors!”

My dog has instructed me to inform the masses that this is not the way it happened…and she should know because dog spelled backwards is…well I think you get the point.

Why not? I have seen worse.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_cult

“Follow along & no one will get hurt” is the doctrine of Obama.

dtroutma, you caused me to do a spit take with my night cap….

The profession of shaman has many advantages. It offers high status with a safe livelihood free of work in the dreary, sweaty sense. In most societies it offers legal privileges and immunities not granted to other men. But it is hard to see how a man who has been given a mandate from on High to spread tidings of joy to all mankind can be seriously interested in taking up a collection to pay his salary; it causes one to suspect that the shaman is on the moral level of any other con man. But it is a lovely work if you can stomach it. [Lazarus Long, Time enough for Love, by Robert Heinlein]

(Religous) Faith strikes me as intellectual laziness.
